Shooting: HowTo

7 Tips to a Better Revolver: Tip #2

Tip #2 - Smooth It

Whether due to product liability concerns or other reasons some revolvers don’t come from the factories these days with a smooth, light double action (DA) trigger pull. Notable exceptions are the new Ruger LCR and Smith & Wesson Bodyguard snub-nosed revolvers. Back in the “good old days” we were accustomed to cutting springs and backing off mainspring screws in order to get a light trigger pull but this was never a good idea. Now, these steps are unnecessary due to the availability of replacement spring kits from outfits like Wolff Gun Springs and Apex Tactical.
